Reactions performed in refluxing o-xylene with [Ph3COH] = 0.167 M, [R-Br] = 0.20 M, [R’-Br] = 0.20 [Pd(OAc)2] = 8.3 mM, [PPh3] = 0.043 M, [CsCO3] = 0.22 M for 16 h. b Total amount of triphenylmethanol converted to products. c Determined by GC/MS analysis. Values are the average of three experiments. d Run in the presence of three aryl bromides, each at 0.20 M.
